Perhaps we knew this already - I didn't. Sayid and his family are from Tikrit. Tikrit is also the home of Saddam Hussein. Many of Hussein's co-horts in the Baathist party were also from Tikrit.
Will this have any relevance? I don't know. Sayid's background has always seemed to be the most connected to actual events, including his involvement in the first Gulf War. I mean, they could have chosen any other Iraqi city. Is Sayid's family connected with Hussein's? Or was the choice just another parrallel, this time between the brutality of Saddam Hussein and Sayid.
Just something to ponder on a Monday night.
